We report a cross-linguistic investigation of English-and Swedish-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) in an attempt to determine whether Wexler's (1998; 2003) (Extended) Unique Checking Constraint (EUCC) can account for the grammatical profiles of these groups of children. In Study 1, a group of Swedish-speaking preschoolers with SLI showed greater use of finite verb inflecti

This monograph presents a new model of the internal syntax of nominal phrases. The model is mainly based on Scandinavian, since with the wide range of variation that Scandinavian displays in the nominal domain, despite the close genetic relationship between the different varieties, Scandinavian is particularly well-suited for explorations into nominal syntax. Among the topics covered are the basic

The first model to predict chloride ingress into concrete was presented by Collepardi in 1970, in Italian! That model was used for some 20 years for design of concrete structures before it was realized that the main parameter, the apparent chloride diffusion coefficient, is not a material property! Since then the Collepardi model has been significantly improved and developed into more or less soph

We present a method for the estimation of possible cell-cyclic elements in mis-sampled microarray data. Accurate assessment of the frequency content of microarray data gives insight into genes which could be cell-cycle regulated. Cell-cycle regulation is one component of the complex network of genetic regulatory processes and is especially relevant to the study of cancer. As cDNA microarray experi

The south-west Andean region of Bolivia has vast landscapes comprising salt deserts and dry lands interspersed with a number of saline lakes. Much of this region lies above 4000 m above sea level that allows the survival of limited and unique flora and fauna. This thesis involves studies on novel, moderately halophilic microorganisms isolated from this region. Strains LC1T and LC2 were isolated fr

The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of international commercial arbitration and its development as a legal and cultural entity. The recent changes within the field of arbitration are intimately related to the intensification of global exchanges and the growth of “world society”. It follows that any sociological study of arbitration must be conducted in light of the on-going glo

The paper examines the impact of Rician fading on the orthogonality of dual-polarized MIMO channels in a measured urban macrocellular scenario. The measurements confirm the previous finding that the Rician

DNA Microarrays introduces all up-to-date microarray platforms and their various applications. It is written for scientists who are entering the field of DNA microarrays as well as those already familiar with the technology, but interested in new applications and methods.

The Antarctic Treaty was concluded by twelve states in Washington on 1 December 1959. Although the Antarctic Treaty has a limited number of parties, its impact has been considerable and lauded, but also questioned. A number of international agreements have developed subsequent to, and under the auspices of, the Antarctic Treaty; all of which have contributed to the establishment and strengthening

We apply the viable system model (VSM) in the management control system (MCS) area in order to address the multifariousrelationships between enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and budgeting through the introduction of five researchcriteria: ERP system, budgeting, informal control, organizational hierarchy and the relationships among them. The researchquestion discussed is: How can we devel

Vad är genus(vetenskap)? Handlar det bara om kvinnor och kanske om män? I denna bok vill författarna spegla och utmana den svenska genusvetenskapen genom att utforska hur genusrelationer samverkar med andra förtryckssystem, som klass och etniska relationer. Ett feministiskt perspektiv på genus(vetenskap) innebär för författarna “mer än bara kvinnor och män” i två bemärkelser. För det första att g

In the present thesis, the geographic distribution of variation within such species is investigated and discussed in relation to glacial survival and post-glacial migration, dispersal ability, breeding system and levels of gene-
